Installing Novell Client on Windows Vista

Does anyone succeded to install Novell Client on Windows Vista workstation?
I tried but it's end with error. Windows does not say there will be any
incompatibility but when I try to install I got an error.
Thank you!

You'll need to wait for a Vista-compatible version of the client from
Novell.

Novell is dead (IMO) , because without a client for vista most user
want migrate to windows 2003 for having a better integration

There will be a client for Vista -- it is definitely in the works:

http://www.novell.com/products/clients/

I expect there will be a public beta of the Novell client in the next
month or so.

By the way, if you have NetWare 6.5 then you can access the NetWare
server with Vista (any version) using NFA/CIFS -- though you need to
tweak the Vista authentication handling.

By the way, a 'preview' build of the Novell client is now available:

Has anyone just installed the basic MS client for Netware? I bave some old
5.x and 6.x Novell servers that I would like Vista to connect to.
I just need to blast in with Microsoft's Netware client, don't need all the
fluff just yet. Anyone have success or procedure.

Thanks,
Steve

I don't think that client exists in Vista.

Novell has a "technology preview" version of the Netware client at
download.novell.com. It is a very basic version - doesn't allow for NDPS,
but I at least get to the network drives. They will be beta testing the full
client in a month or so.
